Split tickets to save an average extra 30%

Splitting tickets is a perfectly legal practice that involves purchasing separate, cheaper tickets for different segments of your journey on the same train instead of a single ticket for the entire trip. For example, if you are travelling from Cambridge to Hackney Downs, you might discover that buying a ticket from A to C, and then another ticket from C to B, is more economical than a direct ticket.
